From your picture and description, the problem you have seems similar to the problem I had a while ago. If the error message you get when you run e.g. VLC from the command line is: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. I reckon its the same problem. As far as I know, there's no real solution for it, just a few workarounds. I solved it by installing 'gconf' [1] which has a lot less dependencies than libgnomeui. If you are not running gnome, you might also have to run: gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme your_theme_name For more information you can look in this forum thread [2], where I also got this solution from. Hope it helps. [1] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gconf/ or http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/gconf/ [2] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=775685
